THIS PAGE FOCUSES ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF SNAKE, ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GEM SNAKES, AS HE AND THE OTHERS REVIEW THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED EARLIER.
Daryl slammed his hands on the table, seemingly upset.
"What the fuck Snake?! We get an opportunity to leech off the fucking Miner's Association and you blew it last second!" [Daryl]
[Snake] "Dont you dare come for my neck you aggressive shitstain! You saw what she did to Ace and Fiona!"
"That bitch wasn't shit man! We had it under control, especially when you came in Mr. Superhero! You kicked her straight to heaven and for what, nothing in return?!" [Daryl]
Snake recoiled at the thought of what he did. He knew that girl was from Enderville, which can only mean bad things happening in return.
[Snake] "I only did it because number one, you couldn't, and number two, all of you were in trouble! I didn't even wanna jump the guy we were after in the first place! But NooOoo... You insisted we jump him and for what, a shitty payment of emeralds?"
"Do you know how rich that monopoly of a company that is?! Targeting first time payments alone would make us rich enough to buy our own sea temple!" [Daryl]
[Snake] "By profiting off random ass people like always, you never wanna treasure hunt anymore!"
"I do—! But come on, that kid is new! He's practically asking for it! It's so easy!" [Daryl]
[Snake] "New or not, deep down you know it's fucked up! I get we're thieves, but for fuck's sake we aren't low-lifes!"
"You wanna stick to your morals soooo fucking bad, cant just do the shit to make you rich! Its no wonder why i'm the one everyone looks up to. I actually do the things that need to be done!" [Daryl]
[Snake] "You know what, Fuck you Daryl. Sooner or later, something is going to bite you in the ass. You come for my throat again like this, and it'll be me who does it."
He spun around, swinging a door open behind him. Daryl got up, visibly angry at Snake.
"DONT YOU FUCKING LEAVE AGAIN YOU FUCKING PUSSY!" [Daryl]
[Snake] "Eat my ass! I'll be back around noon. I need a break from your bullshit!"
"SNAKE!!" [Daryl]
Snake slammed the door, muffling Daryl.
[Snake] "Fucking prick..."
He flipped Daryl off behind the door, moving down a stone brick hallway. The place was presumably underground somewhere, damp sea lanterns illuminating the area.
He readjusted his glasses as he headed towards the exit. He paused as he heard a familiar redhead's voice.
"Ugh— You're leaving again Snake?" [Fiona]
[Snake] "Fiona... don't start this shit, I am seriously not in the mood."
"Awww, c'mon! Seriously?!" [Fiona]
She reached out anyway, grabbing him by the shoulder and causing him to spin around.
[Snake] "What."
"I just— wanted to thank you for saving our asses back there. You'd think Ace is a fighter, only to get taken down by some Enderville local." [Fiona]
He slightly calmed down and was slightly surprised by her words.
[Snake] "Don't mention it, how is he."
"He'll be fine, he's battered but the potions we took are taking good care of him. He's just being lazy now and using his injuries as an excuse to be lazy." [Fiona]
Snake gave her the stink eye.
[Snake] "Uh... huh..."
[Snake] "I'm leaving now, bye Fiona."
"You never feel like staying! You damn pussy!" [Fiona]
"Here, you're probably 'GrAvElY' injured. Eat a few bites of this golden apple, it's the last one from the kid's bag." [Fiona]
She threw him an apple, and he caught it.
[Snake] "...thanks... can i go now?"
He looked at the apple, before his eyes widened slightly. This apple was glowing unlike the rest of the apples.
"I have no idea why it's glowing, I don't feel like eating it so it's your problem." [Fiona]
[Snake] "I'll figure it out... later."
"Later shitface." [Fiona]
She grinned, waving him goodbye before retreating into Ace's room. He could hear her as soon as she walked in the room.
"For fuck's sake Ace! Can you try to stay on your fucking bed?!" [Fiona]
He sighed, slightly calmed down now as he found the exit, climbing up a ladder that led to a trapdoor underneath a tree.
